I hated to even mention J.C. Penneytaking similar steps when that news broke a few weeks back. Every few days since I get asked if there's been any official word on the fate of their Broadway Square location. The answer is "no", so far- Lubbock's South Plains Mall is the only Texas Penney location confirmed to be shutting down at this point.

Unfortunately, there IS another Broadway Square Mall retailer about to lock the doors for good.

As the Tyler Morning Telegraph reports, women's clothing outlet Vanityhas revealed that's it's filing for bankruptcy after 50 years in business. All 150 of its stores across the country will cease operations, & the Tyler staff has been told their jobs will be gone within the next 4-6 weeks.
